Few producers in Burgundy have anything remotely as special planted as Jérôme Fornerot. That’s every year. But with the idelly warm weather of 2022, his old vine holdings in St Aubin, Santenay, and Maranges’ top sites thrived like never before. I had the privilege of tasting every white wine he made in 2022. I found all his wines downright fantastic at our visit last June and I was thrilled when he agreed to release a bit of the Bourgogne Blanc to the U.S. for the very first time.
This special wine is sourced from 50 year old vines in Santenay, the Bourgogne is vibrant and fresh, with a complex aromatic profile, a juicy mid-palate and a beautifully balanced, harmonious finish that has a touch of saline and leaves you wanting more. Simply put, his brand new 2022 Bourgogne Blanc is elite. It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut.
Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.

For years now, I’ve been absolutely delighted by the White Burgundies at Domaine Corsin. There’s really good reason for that. The Corsin’s holdings in Pouilly-Fuissé include many of the best situated sites in the appellation. This wine comes from a selection of older vines grown in these limestone soils. The current vintage is simply showing fantastic at the moment. The 2020 Corsin Domain’s Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vieilles Vignes’ displays a bright golden hue with a hint of green. Its subtle bouquet with a woody-vanilla note enhances the slightly sharp, sophisticated fullness on the palate mingled with a generous underlying impression of toasted bread.
This is a super elegant Meursault from the family-run estate located in the village of Monthelie, between Volnay and Meursault in the heart of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune. It leads with nutty aromas of brioche, fresh butter and delicate citrus and is extremely well structured, long and stylish with great purity of fruit.
Elena Walch’s newly released 2022 Pinot Bianco continues to be the best example of Pinot Blanc anywhere. She’s the undisputed queen. There’s so much energy in this new release. Super light in color, with a busy nose that boasts ripe aromas of citrus, granny smith apple with a hint of freshly mowed grass. Made entirely in stainless steel, the wine is expressive, fresh and finishes as clean and tight as can be. Definitely will continue the run of 90+ scores once this one is reviewed.
Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the widely praised 2021 vintage where quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
